Ballast Parts

Given its density, lead is the common material that provides more weight for less occupied volume. It is the perfect solution for problems with listing, stability, righting, etc.

In this chapter, we have included various bespoke parts with their unique shapes and sizes. These are individual solutions designed for on-off projects for specific boats, classic yachts, hand-crafted builds, etc
